You're not as simple as they want you to be

The sun in your eyes,

the earth in your ears,

ice under your nails,

fire on the palm of your hand.

You are every powerful force

hidden within a chamomile corpse.

You have the strength of water

as it beats rocks to rubble and

washes stones away.

You are as fierce as fire

taking everything in your sight

with a single breathe.

You have the beauty of the wind

caressing fallen leaves with

a mother like touch.

Stars have fallen for you,

Particle becoming bone,

A walking explosion of nebulas.

You're a new kind

of solar system.

Whose constellations are

ever changing.

Knotting within your arteries,

Hiding your greatest fears and

biggest dreams.

Your heart beats in time

with shooting stars

Galaxies hidden

behind fragile eyes.

A spectacular sight for anyone

who breathes in your presence.

An entire universe

pretending to be simple.
